it's a really lovely city to walk around - go up to Calton Hill, walk around the bridges and the lower streets and the closes and passageways, that kinda stuff.

national museum of scotland has a thing about VIKINGS on right now. i think one of the other ones has a thing about olde maps as well.

there's also an outdoor exhibition of amazing photos of Britain from the air. it's a self-guided tour thing, if you start in St Andrew Square and go from there it'll give you a nice overview of the city as well

going up Arthur's Seat is a classic but it'll be proper cold right now. it's bad enough at ground level.

I'm going to Edinburgh on Friday and I'm going to the peploe exhibition. Which im pretty much wetting my pants about as he's in my top 5 favourite artists of all time. I don't really know where to go drinking in Edinburgh as I tend to get led by friends but if you avoid touristy or corporate areas you should find some decent pubs.
